The Love of Kalila

Mindfulness

It was night and Lila could not sleep on the swaying ship. Makes his head and stomach nauseous. The dinner he had just enjoyed did not taste good on the tongue because his limit in the ocean had reached the top.

"Na, I'm out, yeah, get some wind. It's so nauseous."

After being granted permission, Lila came out. Along the corridor towards the free space, there were still many people conversing with each other.

"A lot," he lamented.

In need of a quiet atmosphere, Lila turned towards the stern of the deserted ship. There aren't many people. At least there are two couples and one man who looks at the sea while smoking a cigarette.

"Marcels? Why do we keep seeing you?" lila asked complaining at her fate of continuing to meet Marcel.

Yes, his name in the Yacht is limited and small and with a person who is it-it's mute, so it's natural if you see him continue.

But wait, the effect of seeing Marcel this time is a bit different than usual. Well, Lila did not really care, it was just that the gripping aura when staring at her sharply vanished swept by the sea breeze.

From a distance Marcel looked towards him. Smiled brightly and approached towards him. Lila was not as usual. Marcel's bright face attached at this moment bewitched him not to shy away from the man. Until finally he dared to face Marcel with the look of his eyes.

"You've been caught looking at me again!"

Lila didn't reply. He questioned the meaning of the smile on Marcel's face now.

"It's a shame, yeah. Why are you part of that guy's family?"

That guy? Nana meant? There is no way my other family he knows, even though all in Jakarta, thought Lila at that time.

"At least don't blame me for being interested in approaching you, yeah."

What else is this? Interested in? Approaching me? Lila was still raging with puzzling questions from herself for herself anyway.

"I'm also sorry in advance for everything that's going to happen" Marcel continued, further making Lila unblinkingly confused.

What the hell is this guy talking about? That was all that came to Lila's mind at that moment. And without needing much further interaction, Marcel decided to go back to his friends and leave in front of Lila who still looked strangely at him.

"Awayin I dong, please," that was all he could mutter when he thought of Marcel's meaning to him. To make it difficult to sleep in the middle of the open ocean.

Even tomorrow when everyone was busy, Lila still chose to be alone in her room. Just be willing to go out when meal time comes. After that, back to his room and enveloped himself who was struck by an uncomfortable feeling. It's not comfortable to see Marcel again.

Fortunately Nana et al believe in the reason for the sea witch experienced by Lila, so no need to bother to refuse their invitation to leave the room.

And what he avoided all day actually met in the corner of his eye. Marcel and his friend were chatting while waiting for complete personnel to get off the ship. Lila tried to turn her eyes away from looking at Marcel. But I can't. Marcel's words of interest and apology annoyed him. Lila was also curious as to what would happen next.

After all the members disembarked, Marcel left the port and went to the car park. Passing through Lila's entourage which is still stalled because it is waiting for Tania who left something on the ship. Lila was standing a bit away from Nana and their belongings. The distance between Nana and Lila was passable for some people. Marcel deliberately crossed that distance. As he got closer to Lila he slowed down his pace. Whispering towards Lila and smiling broadly, "See you later."

Of course Lila was confused. Although in her heart Lila did not reject the fact that she was interested in the appearance of Marcel. Her face turned red. And hurriedly he approached Nana. Then Marcel walked again normally with his group.

Although nothing special happened during the trip with the diving club, but being able to talk to Marcel was something that either had to be liked or even feared. Who wouldn't want to talk to the perfect guy. Especially bluntly he said he was interested in Lila. But worry is also because the man is an enemy in the life of Nana, his cousin.

Wanted to pray no more to meet, but in his heart screamed in refusal. Makes him unable to sleep all night even when his body is tired of being hit by the waves.

"See you." Lila kept ringing at the farewell Marcel said. Although it feels a bit strange, why should he of the many people who get the farewell greetings?

"Remember Lila, she's married. I'm married."

Those words of reinforcement were somehow no longer able to cast Marcel's shadow out of his brain. Lila's mind was getting bigger. Curious about the figure of the perfect man's wife. Even thought to compare the charm of his wife who has managed to hook Marcel.

"Who is Martha? Itukh wife?" suddenly he remembered Martha who kept clinging to Marcel.

Duh, don't let Lila be tempted to belong to someone else. Not okay. Whatever the story, it will not be good to fall.

And Lila's struggle with Marcel's shadow continues for the next few days. Makes it erratic, unfocused, appetiteless, and cranky. Feels like a teenager who was shot but ignored. Dissipated.

That afternoon returned to the routine where Lila was alone in such a big house. It's been almost two weeks that she's been here for a vacation, but Nana still hasn't taken her anywhere. Whereas previously Nana always boasted about her cool city with a view of the blue sea. Once taken the road only to the club diving. Lila finally started to get bored. Sangking his boss, helping Bik Nah and Pak Abu was no longer interested in him.

"Away, Non. Nearby is a mall."

The idea of Bik Nah which suggests to go for a walk seems good. It just so happens that the homeowner's motorcycle never seems to be used.

"Tante, the motorcycle in the garage I can pinjem? Bored, aunt. Want to walk for a while," he said asking permission by phone on his aunt aka Bu Mis. Permission from aunt alone is considered enough to approve the plan of his streets. Anyway, just to the nearest places.

Preparing himself, a small bag containing ID cards, Sims, and ATMs, Lila was ready to wade through the city surrounded by the ocean. A happy feeling filled his chest. The sound of ocean waves was even more clearly heard than the sound of the exhaust of the vehicle on the road he was traveling. It flashed in his mind to bring his parents there and enjoy the old age in a quiet place.

Traversing the streets of high-rise buildings, most of what he had passed was a large hotel. Well, understand it, Tanjungpinang one of the famous cities in the Riau Islands that are often visited by foreign and domestic tourists. Hotels are the first priority here. Even the mall and hotel are in one building. Sugoi.

Speaking of malls, isn't that the place Lila's starting destination out in broad daylight on that motorcycle? Fighting the heat he no longer felt.

Without a second thought, he turned his motorcycle towards the hotel or mall, whatever it was. The building was so spacious, Lila was confused as to which direction to the entrance of her mall. Due to his prestige to ask, he decided to follow the others behind. There were two young mudi who seemed to be in a drunken kasmaran just got off the car. Drunk kasmaran? More precisely, the woman who holds the man's arm continues.
